"Better late than never," Wei Zhao said.
"But... you can actually repair my meridians?" The Medicine King's face was full of hope as he looked at Wei Zhao.
"Sure I can," Wei Zhao nodded.
"What?" The Medicine King was stunned, on the verge of tears, and nearly dropped to his knees before Wei Zhao. He really could repair his meridians?
"Though my fee is bound to be a bit steeper than what a quack like you would charge," Wei Zhao said. "Ten billion per meridian. A martial artist has seven meridians and eight vessels, fifteen primary channels in all. So just hand me one hundred and fifty billion, and I'll throw in the secondary channels for free!"
The Medicine King rolled his eyes, nearly fainting from sheer fury. Ten billion a meridian? Why didn't the man just go rob a bank?
"Don't go complaining that it's steep! Do you have any idea how many rare treasures I'd have to burn through to repair a single meridian for you? I might even have to call my master in, and it's not as if he gets here without travel expenses!" Wei Zhao was starting to talk sheer nonsense.
"..." The Medicine King said nothing, his face a portrait of despair.
Wei Zhao shrugged and turned away from the Medicine King, addressing Zhao Qibing instead. "Zhao Qibing, seems you still haven't given up? Two buildings have come down already. Do you still not understand that there are some people you can't provoke, because provoking them is a great deal of trouble?"
"I... Boss Wei Zhao, ha, I—I was incited by the Yu and Xiao families into this foolish move. Honestly, deep down, I'm terrified of you!" The expressions flitting across Zhao Qibing's face were a spectacular sight; to save his skin, he had no choice but to keep swallowing humiliation! He knew full well that Wei Zhao was capable of anything, and so he dumped all the blame on the Yu and Xiao families at once! Surely Wei Zhao wouldn't dare do anything to the Yu and Xiao families!
After all, Wei Zhao might not know how formidable the hidden families were, but he certainly knew that the families of the mundane world were not to be trifled with! Besides, the Yu family had hidden families backing them, and though the Xiao family had fallen on hard times, Zhao Qibing refused to believe Wei Zhao would truly dare to touch him!
After all, if Wei Zhao moved against the Xiao family, the other families would surely see their own fate in it—perhaps they would be next—and they would not sit idly by.
"Yu Bide is dead. Old Pi is dead too," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"Gah?" At Wei Zhao's words, Zhao Qibing nearly collapsed onto the ground! What the hell? Wei Zhao dared to kill even the Yu family's people? In Zhao Qibing's eyes, Wei Zhao at his most arrogant would only strike at the Xiao family and would never dare touch the Yu family—yet he had never imagined Wei Zhao would directly kill the Yu family's people. Wasn't that just too ruthless?
This man never played by the rules, and he acted with absolute abandon. Was he not afraid of retaliation...? Right—this time, by feigning the loss of his strength, he had lured some retaliation, and what a result: the retaliators had been retaliated against...
"Your family hasn't lost anyone yet, so here I am," Wei Zhao said, looking at Zhao Qibing with a faint, ambiguous smile.
"Boss Wei Zhao, there's surely some misunderstanding between us..." Zhao Qibing's legs had gone weak with fear; his whole body was trembling, and the smile on his face was a ghastly thing. "Look, if I hadn't been incited, would I ever have dared trouble you? Please, whatever you do, don't act rashly..."
"Don't be so frightened. Before I kill someone, I generally give them a choice." Wei Zhao waved a hand, cutting Zhao Qibing off. "I gave the Yu and Xiao families two options, but they didn't accept, so I had no choice..."
"I accept, I accept!" Zhao Qibing nodded again and again.
"Your terms, I want them doubled," Wei Zhao said flatly.
